Sadly, as implemented, I see it as less than useful. One of the S23 Ultra's headline features is a 200-megapixel mode. S23 Ultra's 200-megapixel photos are a gimmick 100x is mostly a novelty unless you're limiting your photos to postage stamp size. The 30x shots can be useful when viewed small and can help with jobs like identifying birds. I used the Samsung at 10x a lot and less commonly with its digital upscaling technology, at 30x and 100x.
